The "Boiler heatpower" sensor calculates the added heatpower by the boiler when the boiler is active.
The "Total system power" sensor calculates the total heatpower generated by the heatpumps and boiler.

It calculates the waterdelta between the heatpumps (HP1 or HP2 - depending on the configuration) and the temperature of the water at the flowmeter and multiplies it with the flowrate and the conversion factor

BoilerHeatpower = (flowWaterTemperature - heatpumpWaterOut) * flowRate * conversionFactor

With this value and some helper sensors an estamation can be made regarding how much gas has been used by the boiler for heating.

The conversionFactor has been brought in line with the Quatt calculation and "Heat transfer equation"

The Quatt power sensor cannot go negative anymore since CIC version 2.20.2. The calculated heat power sensors now show the same behaviour.
